AttributeDescriptor cleanups.
-----------------------------

                 Key: CARROT-733
                 URL: http://issues.carrot2.org/browse/CARROT-733
             Project: Carrot2
          Issue Type: Refactoring
          Components: Framework Core, Web Application
            Reporter: Dawid Weiss
            Assignee: Stanisław Osiński
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.5.0


Currently AttributeDescriptor holds a mix of "dynamic" and static information about an attribute of a Bindable type. The dynamic information the the "defaultValue", which cannot be extracted at compile-time (because non-primitive types are initialized in initialization blocks).

Removing SimpleXML annotations from AttributeDescriptor would provide a way for further refactoring which should lead to the following state:

{noformat}
BindableDescriptor [rename to =>] DynamicBindableDescriptor
  => Dynamic information about an instance of a @Bindable class, including a map of default values of attributes,
     attribute grouping, etc.

IBindableDescriptor [already present, generated]
  => Classes automatically generated for @Bindable classes, contain static information about attributes.

AttributeInfo [rename to =>] AttributeDescriptor
  => Static information about an attribute (currently stored in AttributeDescriptor and AttributeMetadata)

AttributeDescriptor [delete, replaced with static AttributeDescriptor; default value stored in a map inside DynamicBindableDescriptor]

AttributeMetadata [delete, becomes part of the new AttributeDescriptor]

BindableMetadata [delete, becomes part of IBindableDescriptor]
{noformat}
